The timeline has been Last 5-6 years: COVID surge in HN brings in more people Last 3-4 years: General rise in AI topics which have broad appeal and brought in a lot of people Last 2-3 years: More overtly political…
I'm curious if there's a market for an ultra-small, credit-card sized ereader that can fit in a wallet
Ironic considering the article just reeks of AI. - AI loves to use "consumers" instead of just saying people or Americans - "You’ve spent time and budget on it, yet your audience can’t name a single company they think…
If you switch IPs you can usually get a message or two through during these outages. This has been a consistent issue with Gemini for the past few months, but has increased in frequency and duration of outages,…
On the other hand, seperating concerns by process boundaries leads to more secure, composable and stable code. By not reinventing the wheel, you avoid a whole class of problems. Of course a stable API or library might…
The difference is apple doesn’t let you modify your device to use other services. Their contractual obligation goes beyond the service itself. That’s why EPIC won this case.
What does the G in GaaS mean?
The reason I brought up roomba wasn't to talk about Lidar or vision necessarily. It's more a story about how the first-mover in a technological space became entrenched in what works and became resistant to investing in…
A fun anecdote - a lot of people may remember Roomba from forever back with their automated little vacuums. Roomba's market share declined significantly because they failed to adopt Lidar technology as quickly as their…
Prof. Barry Marshall is an example of why Evidence-Based Medicine works against community sentiment.
Ignoring 95% of a uniform market to target the 5% of users who all have niche and conflicting preferences is a ridiculous strategy for stability, growth, and profitability.
I would rather look like a fool than be one. At least then I would have something to be accountable to
Only the first letter being case-sensitive is a major strike against readability, one of four major pillars. While I’m sure the Nim developers are probably used to it by now, it just seems like a bad design decision Nim…
I agree that sometimes linters can enforce code styles that are more of hassle to deal with than offer any real concrete gain to new developers. But I disagree that only senior developers should use linters. Especially…
I agree with you, and I think you have misunderstood the nuance of the parent comment. He is not letting google "off the hook", but rather being tongue-in-cheek/slightly satirical when he says that the reality is too…
This is 4th bot I’ve seen today. Before today, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bot on HN, or at least a bot this transparent.
The idea that “attention is all you need” here is a handwavy explanation that doesn’t hold up against basic scrutiny. Why would Google do something this embarrassing? What could they possibly stand to gain? Google has…
They indeed are, just in a very polemic way. What a funny time we live in.
Code generally does not enter the YouTube code base without a lot of review namely (1) performance tests and (2) code reviews from multiple teams. Lines like this almost certainly get flagged/increased scrutiny. It…
Yep, and I love writing Scala as much as I hate writing Java, but I wouldn't say its maturity is in the same league as Java, C/C++, etc.
Yea, I don't imagine native stream parallelism will help when CPUs are already loaded. Presumably you're using Spring or Rx, in which case you probably can leverage reactive streams and/or Managed Blockers, but thats…
> Not only do virtual threads cope very poorly with I/O other than network I/O, you still get memory barriers. Which is why I said you probably don't want to use the paradigm I outlined for I/O, but if you did you would…
Starting to program with Java streams is weird because you are utilizing functional constructs in a language that historically had little notion of them. When I first started using them it felt worthless when I could…
OpenMP is not a language? You can take any language and add libraries to achieve a specific goal, my point is that Java streams are first-class citizens compared to other matured programming languages that also enable…
Does C# allow you to convert a sequential stream into a parallel stream, or do streams have to be parallelized when initiated? Genuinely asking, I do not know C#
